Insulin resistance has recently been found to be a common feature of
essential hypertension. We have tested the hypothesis that reduced skeletal
muscle blood flow in response to insulin may at least partially account for
the wide range of insulin sensitivity observed in normotensive subjects. To
this end, we studied 19 lean (body mass index < or = 27) subjects
exhibiting basal mean arterial pressures ranging from 58 to 110 mm Hg. All
subjects were normotensive with the exception of one. Each subject was
studied at baseline and during a hyperinsulinemic (600 milliunits/m2 per
minute) euglycemic clamp to quantitate insulin sensitivity. Mean arterial
pressure was monitored invasively, and both leg (muscle) blood flow and
cardiac output were measured by indicator dilution techniques, allowing the
determination of both systemic and leg (or muscle) vascular resistance. In
response to hyperinsulinemia, both cardiac output and leg blood flow
increased approximately 37% and 80% (p < 0.01), respectively. Rates of
insulin- mediated glucose uptake were inversely correlated with the
baseline mean arterial pressure (r = -0.62, p < 0.01). The individual
increment in leg blood flow above baseline in response to insulin was
inversely proportional to the height of the baseline mean arterial pressure
(r = - 0.59, p < 0.01). Mean arterial pressure and insulin-mediated
glucose uptake were not correlated with either age or body fat
content.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
